20w1d [& Belly Photo!]

How far along: 20w1d

Total weight gain: 13 pounds!

Size and growth of the baby: 10 1/2oz. & 10 inches long from head to heel [similar to a banana in length]

From my weekly email: You're at the halfway mark — congratulations! The baby is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. [S]he's alsoproducing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (although some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Sex: just lots of guesses!

Maternity clothes: some of both. I really need to get maternity bottoms soon though!

Abby.....you look so beautiful!!! I have been sucking at the blogging but I do drop in and read (just not comment cause I don't have much time with school). I miss you though and wanted to drop a quick note and say hi :)
